MAPdataWorld

MAPdataWorld is a compilation of GIS data covering the world at 1:15 million scale. This detailed world vector dataset was initially created by Avenza Systems reseller and digital data experts, The XYZ Digital Map Company, and was specially created and designed for Avenza and MAPublisher® users. This dataset is based on The Digital Chart of the World (DCW) and has been extensively improved and attributed. As a result, it contains many data and design elements you will not find anywhere else. MAPdataWorld comes complete with ESRI Arcview project and shapefiles, MapInfo TAB and workspace files, and a set of MAPublisher-optimized MID/MIF files which have been fine tuned and simplified for optimum performance with MAPublisher.

MAPdataWorld has everything needed to make detailed maps of the world or world regions, whether it is for publication or for use within a GIS. Vector data layers include towns, roads, railways, rivers, lakes, administration areas and lines, symbols and physical names. Raster contour and hillshading layers are also available. This is a royalty-free* dataset that allows for the unrestricted use of all files for the design and creation of maps for print and electronic distribution. MAPdataWorld is available as a complete 3-part set on CD or as individual (ESRI, MapInfo & MAPublisher) datasets by download.
